A safe place for kids to explore and grow after school
In these centers, children have the opportunities to get attached to adults (and peers) that cares about them, provide them with the nurturance that they need, support them during difficult times, work with them to overcome life challenges, learn life skills, develop autonomy and self-regulations, and expect them to grow up to become successful and contributing citizens.
SERVICE CONTENT
Our Approach
A whole child approach is taken under an ecological perspective with a positive youth development orientation. Activities are provided to allow children time, space, and opportunities to explore their multiple intelligences, and develop the 21st century skills (critical thinking, collaborations, communication, creativity; as well as life skills, information, media & technology skills), that are so essential to their future successes. Learning is believed to be a life-long process, thus activities are planned and set up so that children are motivated to learn, and in the process they will develop self-efficacy in learning, and perceive that learning is fun. Learning is also in doing, thus our activities are hands on, with the children participating in every step of the learning process, including brainstorming, planning, execution, evaluation, presentation and future extensions. While at the same time, social emotional learning is also emphasized.

Our Locations
Elementary school is the starting point of the 12-year compulsory education, and a central place for learning and living for children and their families. In collaboration with the 32 elementary schools in Taoyuan City, the P3 Zone afterschool child development centers are set up within these schools. Being at these locations, the foundation not only is able to interact with school teachers, parents; but have the access to connect with the surrounding community as well. This wholesome unity allows us the opportunity to leverage in the community resources, and together in joint effort we can even better foster the growth and development of our children’s unique talents and abilities.
